It's Friday, Friday, Friday!

Well, it is Friday.  Friday. Friday.  You can sing that like Rebecca Black if you like.  You don't have too, though.  I won't make you.

So, what am I doing this Friday night? Not really a thing.  It's kinda nice to have an off night to do nothing except things you need to get done.  Jody has two shows tonight.  I could have been a totally cool band girlfriend and gone with him.  One was at Botticelli's and the other at The Continental Club.  So, neither one would have not been fun.  I opted to stay home and get some chore type things done.  

First on the list, Mother's Day!  I am wrapping and packing and taping and decorating Mother's Day presents.  Between the two of us, there are three moms.  I have two and Jody has one.  So, I shopped today for gifts and wrapping paper and all the fun stuff that goes along with them.  And here I sit making everything festive.

Of course, I did forget to find boxes. I have to send all gifts through the mail.  I just can't wrap them up in gift boxes.  So, instead of just waiting, I have to find some boxes.  Luckily, Jody and I are some of the most unorganized and lazy people on Earth (really, we are).  Our entire spare bedroom is filled with boxes we haven't unpacked since moving into this house (in August.  It's April.  Told you.) Well, I just unpacked a few boxes and got to wrapping!  Funny thing is is that I have no where to put the stuff I unpacked, as we don't have enough shelving or storage. So, it is just going to turn the back room more into a junk filled catastrophe.

I am almost done with that.  I also spent the evening doing random chores.  Washed the dishes.  Broke a glass.  Swept the floor.  I wasn't going to do that because I had gotten kinda lazy in the midst of dishes.  I had planned to do it, but then changed my mind.  Well, luckily, I dropped and broke a glass.  So, I swept after all!  Hurray for fun coincidences.

I have also watched the Royal Wedding.  I truly don't care about it.  I missed it all day.  It has been annoying the hell out of me for a month.  But, I couldn't get around it tonight.  With a lack of cable in my house, you gotta watch network TV unless you watch something on the Internet.  So, I saw it.  And, dammit, if I didn't tear up.  Of course, the dress was gorgeous.  Gorgeous!  And I got all teary like a fucking goon.  But, other than the absolutely no one that reads this...no one will ever know!

One great thing about today was that I found Urban Cowboy the novel at Half Price Books. 

Isn't it awesome?  As some of you (no one) may know, I have a thing for "Urban Cowboy."  It's one of my favorite things in the world.  I have tons of Gilley's and "Urban Cowboy" crap.  And, now I have a novel about "The nighttime cowboys & their women - lovin', fightin', kickin' up a storm."  There can be no wrong in this! No Wrong, People!  I think it was meant to be.  I just happen to turn around and look up, and there it was.  Top shelf.  Blaring at me.  Hurray!

Well, in other words, today has been nothing much to write about.  I didn't get anything free in the mail.  Boooo!  So, checking the mail was more like a Christmas where you are hoping for a bike and you got a jacket.  That's ugly.  But, I was pre-approved for a number credit cards.  I am so all over those.  Actually, I'm not.

Okay, enough of me for this day.  I shall return soon to have another awesome blog for not a single person to read.  Hurray!

It Seems I Forgot How to Type

Ah, long time no type. I have absolutely no idea how long ago I wrote anything in my blog (that's simply because I didn't look at the last post before I started typing). I also have no idea why I haven't written in so long.  It's probably because I don't think I am too interesting.  I mean, really?  Other than Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Tony Orlando-who really is, right?

Alas, I have decided to take to writing about my fabulous life in fabulous Austin, TX.  I have decided to write about my fabulous job and fabulous dogs and fabulous man and fabulous pants.  If it comes off as not so fabulous, that is because it either isn't or you are dumb.  I take it that you being dumb is not the reason.  In fact, if you are this far, you are at least somewhat functionally literate.  Therefore, you are not dumb.

Things have happened.  I live in a house.  I live in the ghetto in a house.  I love living in the ghetto in a house with my awesome Jody who still loves me like I am an Eiffel Tower made of Moon Pies and RC Cola.  And I still love him as if he were the same.  You can't imagine how much people can love some Eiffel Tower made of Moon Pies and RC Cola.  One can love it a whole heck of a lot!

Still working at the same place.  Still driving the same half doped trucked.  Still wearing some raggedy pair of Converse or another.  Still blond and fat and mouthy.  I haven't lost any appendages.  So, I feel life is pretty freakin' awesome!

One thing I did realize about myself in the last little while is that I am amazing at getting free stuff.  Not like cars or houses or anything.  Just random free stuff.  Because of this-for many years-I have felt like checking the mail is Christmas!  It's even better now that I have opted out of all paper bills.  So, I don't even get stinky news in the mail (except that Quality Book Club bill that I refuse to pay because they refused to cancel me and then sent me 2 books costing $109.00!  Whatever! I canceled that, and I will not pay.  Buttheads!).  I think, in fact, that I am really good at getting free things.  I always have been.  So, as a fun little blog thing (what would you call that?) I will be posting pictures of free stuff I get.  If I can remember where I got them, I will add that, too.  I mean, who doesn't want a free thing!  But usually I forget.  So, don't count on that.

I got this today:

Yes, I got an "I ♥ Pyrex" hot pad.  Yes, it is hanging on the wall.  We have no drawer space in this house, so that is where they all go.  The stove is right over there →.  I just don't around hanging over mitts on my wall.  Well, actually, I would.  In fact, that might be kinda cute. 

Anyway, that's what I got today.  I could post the Apron from some tomato company I got yesterday or the sample of Miralax I got the day before.  I don't know that I need Miralax because I am pretty good at pooping without any help.  But, you never know when you might need it!  See, nothing fancy, but free stuff.  Christmas mailbox all year long!

Okay, so as you can tell, I, like many humans, don't have much of an exciting life.  In fact, it doesn't change much.  I guess that is good.  I am pretty okay with it.  Oh, we did jump into the 21st Century and got a flat screen TV!  Hurray!  Who knew PBS could look so fancy.  We don't have cable.  Hence, the PBS viewing.  But, we do got a fancy TV to watch all the network television we can handle. 

This is enough for a first blog back.  I have no idea who the hell is going to read it.  I think only 4 people did before I stopped.  But, it's kinda fun to write which is why I got a whole Masters Degree in it.  That is probably why I stopped.  Man, that much schooling in something really kills it for a time.  You should see how crappy I am at reading books now.  I read too many in undergrad and grad school to even half care about it anymore.  I still do it, just not as much as I should.  Oh, but don't we all have something like that?  I have that and my big, fat ass.  But, who doesn't.

Bye for now.  More ramblings of a half crazy, half boring broad later!
